Plaque Program & Walking Tours

Wall Mounted Heritage Plaque Program

Owners of properties listed in the Municipal Register of Heritage Resources or properties designated as heritage under either Part IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act, are eligible for a wall-mounted plaque that identifies the heritage status of the property. The City issues a limited number of plaques each year. Heritage Plaques publicly identify designated and listed properties so they are easily identifiable as having heritage value.
